Black jigs, marabou especially deadly for all trout. I also fished lees ferry back in the early 80,s before the high water years that flushed it all away. Caught rainbows to 14lbs, Only lure we ever used was black marabou jigs.
. Tube jigs were just coming into play back then. The big trout loved them too. I have caught many rainbows, browns, cutts, Brookies, tigers and splake on black jigs both feather and plastic. Fish thrn from the Uintahs , boulders, Henry’s lake, Hebgen, Strawberry and rivers and more. Black can be deadly . Hence the name fishing buddies and I have called them for years “Black Death” ? don’t overlook it.
For lake trout I do better with white, Pearl and 136 in tube jigs. Have caught a bunch on white marabou over the years.
